FLOORING
NOTE: Please note that the floor must be strong
and rigid enough to support the weight of the
washer when fully loaded, without flexing or
bouncing. If your floor has too much flex in it,
you may need to reinforce it to make it more
rigid. A floor that is adequate for a top-loading
washer may not be rigid enough for a front-
loading washer, due to the difference in the spin
speed and direction. If the floor is not solid, your
washer may vibrate and you may hear and feel
the vibration throughout your house.

Required Dimensions for Installation
With Stacking Kit
• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer
MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor.
See the NOTE at right.
• Allowable slope under the entire washer is
1° maximum.
• Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not
recommended.
• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly
supported structure. Use only an approved
accessory pedestal as described below.
Using the Floor Pads
• When installing the washer on a wooden floor,
place the included floor pads under the legs of
the washer. This will help reduce vibration when
the washer is operating.
NOTE: If a pedestal is being used, the floor pads
should be placed beneath the pedestal legs.
IMPORTANT: If you are installing your washer using
an optional pedestal base or stacking kit, please
refer to Optional Accessories in this manual or to the
instructions for your pedestal or stacking kit before
proceeding with the installation.
